Springtime just gets us in the mood for all of the pretty colors, and somehow this carries over to dessert. We want all of the pastel and confetti topped desserts. If you can get on board with this, then you’ll love the recipe round-up we have for you today, so let’s get started!
Spring Trifle
This beautiful trifle is easily made with a couple of boxed cake mixes and cool whip. Seriously, does it get any easier than that? And since you’re the baker, you get to decide what color the cakes are; so if bright spring colors aren’t your thing, you can opt for pastels or neutrals. This dessert is ideal for a crowd, making it perfect for any spring brunches you may be hosting or Easter celebrations. If you’re expecting a large group, we recommend making mini trifles in mason jars – the perfect grab-and-go dessert! Get the full recipe here!
Sugar Cookie Bars
Before you scroll on because sugar cookies can be quite finicky, you need to know that these sugar cookie bars don’t require any chilling, rolling, or cutting, and they practically melt in your mouth. In fact, the texture has been compared to those Lofthouse cookies. You can decide what color of frosting should go on top and you can choose what sprinkles will be best so they complement your gathering perfectly. If you’re preparing these bars for a large crowd, we recommend cutting the squares on the smaller side. (Trust us, a little dab will do ya!) Get the full recipe here.
Circus Animal Sprinkle Cookies
These cookies are just about the prettiest cookies we’ve ever seen. Think a thick, chewy cookie, loaded with sprinkles, topped off with frosting, then the frosting is topped off with a circus animal cookie; as delicious as they are pretty if you ask us. Cookies are always great when you’re baking for a crowd, and the colors make these perfect for springtime. Get the full recipe here.
Funfetti Macarons
We can’t have a list of pretty desserts for springtime without including at least one recipe for macarons. Macarons are light, sweet, and so pretty. Now, we will be honest, macaroons are for the more advanced baker, but if you can get the process down, you (and your guests!) will be loving the results. If you want to make your macarons a little more colorful, you can opt to change the flavor or simply the color of your macarons. Get the full recipe here.
